Product description and functional principles

The medical purpose of the radiofrequency induced thermotherapy, RFITT, is to achieve 

controlled tissue coagulation. The CELON ELITE ESG-200 offers 4 different RFITT modes 

that are used in conjunction with the CELON bipolar applicators. For further information refer 

to the section “The bipolar RFITT coagulation modes” on page 63.

RCAP is a feature that supports the mode Strong RFITT. Deep tissue coagulation without 

significant desiccation is achieved with RCAP.

RCAP determines the maximum power uptake of the tissue, adapted to the momentary 

treatment status and automatically adjusts the electrosurgical generator. For this process, 

the geometry of the bipolar applicator used as well as individual tissue characteristics, 

e.g. blood perfusion, are taken into account. Therefore, premature tissue desiccation 

is effectively avoided and subsequent manual adjustment of the supplied power is 

unnecessary. Also refer to the section “The bipolar RFITT coagulation modes” on page 

63.

The electrosurgical generator is equipped with a radio transmitting and receiving technology. 

Therefore, the selected CELON bipolar applicator that is connected to the electrosurgical 

generator is recognized automatically. This means:

 - The name of the connected CELON bipolar applicator is displayed in the BIPOLAR pane 

of the touch screen, e. g. [ProBreath] or [ProSleep plus].

 - Only compatible modes and output power settings are available.

 - The user can select one of these compatible modes and can change the output power 

level within a restricted range.

Other radio transmitters and receivers, e. g. mobile phones, may interfere with the automatic 

instrument recognition.

 

• To avoid interference observe the instructions in the chapter “Electromagnetic 

compatibility” on page 92.

To protect the patient from a worn-out instrument the bipolar applicators are equipped with 

memory chips that record the usage. When the permitted usage span is nearly reached, 

the electrosurgical generator alerts the user by emitting an alarm tone and displaying the 

following error message:
